I love any and all dogs! I am happy to accept dogs of any size and age into my own as long as they are comfortable with other dogs and don't mind playing a little bit. Gizmo in particular loves to wrestle and play tug. Chip is a little more reserved, but he will wrestle and play at times too. _____ Some things that are useful to know: -What is your dog's personality like? -Are there any medical issues I should be aware of? -How is your pooch on leash? When he or she meets other dogs on walks? -Are dog parks OK? -What does your feeding schedule look like? How much food? How many times a day?

So what does a typical day look like in our household? We tend to be early risers and after a quick morning walk, Gizmo and Chip snuggle up next to me while I drink my coffee and catch up on email and work. Once snuggle time is over (usually an hour- Gizmo and Chip love nestling up right next to me and it's so hard to deny puppy snuggles!), C+G get their breakfast (around 7am). I almost exclusively feed my dogs home-cooked meals. This is what my family has been doing since before I was born, and our dogs have always been incredibly healthy and lived longer than the majority of dogs their breeds. Generally, I made a nice stew for my boys with farrow, barley, protein (beef, chicken, or pork usually), and plenty of veggies (celery, carrots, potatoes, and more!) I am very cautious to make sure all ingredients are pet-safe but again, my family has been feeding our dogs like this for years and no complaints so far! I also always leave kibble out for the boys to munch on. They have developed quite the palate though, and usually prefer to wait for the next meal! :) I am happy to oblige by your dog's dietary needs and restrictions if you kindly provide me with his or her food. After a quick walk, it's time for me to go to to CrossFit and hit the gym! After I finish my workout and shower up, I run back home to check on my little men. They are usually deep in their first of many naps by this point! Then it's off to work so I leave the boys to guard the house! I am often able to nip back home during the day to walk the boys. However, since C+G are wee-wee pad trained, they are quite fine being on their own for several hours. If I do go back home during the day, I give the boys a little snack to tide them over. However, they have adjusted well to a 2-meal a day system and I tend to stick to that. Once I'm home for good for the day, the very first thing we do is hit up the dog park! C+G know this is the routine and wait (not so patiently!) by their harnesses and leashes. We spend a minimum of half an hour at the park, but generally, we are there closer to an hour (we have many human and canine friends there!). If your dog is not a dog-park dog, that's not a problem! We can instead take a long walk. After the park, C+G get their dinner (around 6-7pm). They get another short walk before it's time to hit the sack and get ready for another day! C+G sleep in bed with me. Your pooch is welcome to sleep wherever he or she pleases (bed, couch, doggie bed, crate, etc)!
